I'll let you know if it helped things. Hi. I set up another swap file and used vconfig to make it a swap partition, according to the FAQ. The problem is that the drive pages so often, that the machine is unuseable. It is really, really slow. Anyone have any idea why it's so slow or how to speed it up so that it's as fast as my swap partition ?
